EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Cape Town, circa 1680. The image showcases the stunning coastal landscape of South Africa, with its majestic mountains and crystal-clear waters. It is a testament to the rich history of seafaring and transportation in this region. The Dutch influence is evident in the architecture and ships depicted in the artwork. The fleet of sailing ships anchored near the coast gives us a glimpse into the bustling maritime activity that once took place here. These vessels were crucial for trade and exploration during this period. Table Mountain stands proudly in the background, dominating the skyline with its imposing presence. This geographical feature has become an iconic symbol of Cape Town over centuries. The artist's pen strokes bring life to this historical scene, capturing every intricate detail with precision. The use of color adds vibrancy to an era long gone but not forgotten. As we admire this print, we are transported back to a time when Cape Town was still emerging as a prominent city on the world map. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring our past and appreciating our roots. This remarkable piece from Basil Lubbock's "Adventures By Sea From Art of Old Time" collection allows us to delve into history through art, reminding us that even centuries later, these images continue to captivate and inspire us today.
